THE ROLE
We are a real estate investment company that acquires, rehabilitates, and sells residential properties. We are our own client — no outside customers, no retail jobs, no bid chasing. Every rehab we run protects our own capital and return.
We are bringing in a Senior Construction Project Manager who will own execution of our active rehab portfolio from deal handoff through final inspection. You will be supported by a Construction Coordinator and a Field Supervisor — but you are the one who knows every number, every schedule, every sub, and every scope.
“This is a director-track position. We want someone who comes in, runs the projects, builds the systems, and earns the seat at the head of this division.”
WHAT YOU WILL OWN
- Manage 15–30 active rehab projects simultaneously across all phases — with complete awareness of status on every one
- Create full line-item budgets from field assessments across light cosmetic work through premium renovations ($25K–$300K )
- Write scopes of work matched to financial targets — maximizing profit, not building the nicest house on the street
- Bid every project competitively, negotiate every contract, and hold the line on every change order
- Enforce inspection gates before any contractor payout is released — no exceptions
- Maintain cost code discipline in Buildertrend on every active job — budget-to-actual tracking live at all times
- Build, vet, and manage the subcontractor network — competitive, reliable, contracted, and accountable
- Run weekly team meetings and report to ownership on budget status, schedule, issues, and operational improvements
WHAT YOU MUST BRING
- 7 years in residential construction managing multiple concurrent projects with full budget ownership and schedule accountability
- Demonstrated ability to build project budgets from scratch — you have never handed estimating to someone else and called it your own
- Real quantity takeoff experience across all major trades — you know what a job costs because you priced it yourself
- Buildertrend fluency: cost codes, scheduling, RFIs, change orders, document control, and reporting — operational mastery, not basic use
- A track record of bringing jobs in on or near budget — managing the money while getting the work done
- The ability to negotiate firmly and professionally without backing down from a contractor padding a number or dragging a schedule
- Permitting experience: pulling permits, coordinating inspections, managing multiple active jurisdictions simultaneously
- Computer-native working style — documentation in the software, same day, every time
PREFERRED BACKGROUND
- Prior experience inside a real estate investment, fix-and-flip, or build-to-rent company a plus but not required
- Experience scoping projects to match a financial model rather than a client wish list
- Background in the trades before moving into management
- Experience building or improving operational systems, checklists, or SOPs
- Exposure to ground-up residential construction — a plus for where this division is heading
WHO YOU ARE
Financially Disciplined
You feel real satisfaction from coming in under budget. You push back on a $5,000 line item at 9pm on a Thursday because you understand what it costs.
System-Native
You document same day, every time, because you learned the hard way what happens when you don’t. The system carries what the mind can’t.
Even-Keeled
15 active projects, 3 issues in the same afternoon — you do not get flustered. You triage, you document, you execute.
Accountable
You can hold a contractor to their timeline and their contract without it getting personal. Firm, fair, clear.
A Real People Person
You work through people all day — subs, your team, ownership. If you are difficult to be around, nobody delivers for you.
Growth-Minded
You are not here for a comfortable job. You want to build something and earn the title that comes with it.
